Can just four ingredients produce a recipe that’s delicious and extremely versatile? The answer is yes, if you have my recipe for Biscuit Mini Muffins.

Grilled Caponata Bruschetta
The combination of savory vegetables like eggplant and onion with tangy olives and capers, sweet golden raisins and crunchy pine nuts is what makes caponata so delicious. Increase the flavor by grilling the eggplant and onion and you’ve taken something good and made it great.

Honey-Wheat Loaves
This bread is delicious hot out of the oven, spread with apple butter or jam, and stores well for several days in a zip-top plastic bag. The bread also freezes beautifully.
